Customer directive

Our customer wanted to create an indexing single part flow inert atmosphere production furnace system to match, and seamlessly integrate into, the customer’s entire existing manufacturing process at a production rate of 45 seconds part to part. The customer’s then existing process included inefficient batch furnace staging of parts at this point in the process.


Description

This batch oven is used to heat treat steel components used in the automotive industry. The parts are loaded in a basket and then loaded into the batch oven chamber. The oven is designed to process 600 pounds of product per batch. The door which is located on the front of the oven is a pneumatically powered automatic door. The operator pushes the open button to open the door, product is loaded into the heated chamber and the operator pushes the close button to close the door. After the heat treating cycle is complete the operator pushes the open button and the door opens and the basket is removed from the oven.
